Longtime NY DJ Bob Shannon (Don Bombard) passed away the other day at the age of 74.

He was a DJ on WCBS-FM New York for 30 years among his other stints.

Here is an aircheck of Bob from 12 years ago today Thursday June 30th, 2011 starting at 10am.

CBS-FM was going through their library starting with songs that begin with the letter A and going all the way to songs that begin with Z during a holiday weekend in the USA.

Bob picks up the countdown with songs that start with the word "Down" from the 1960s, '70s and '80s.

Enjoy.

RIP Bob.

It's sad to read that Bob is not with us anymore. I listened to him almost everyday when I was driving from work to the hotel back in the second half of the nineties, when I worked in New Jersey every now and then.

 

Thanks for the aircheck!

 

By the way, it this you? https://www.musicradio77.com/JohnTrollProfile.html

Yes.  I produced a weekly aircheck show for Rewound Radio for 7 1/2 years in the 2010s. 

 

Most of the DJs from the classic WCBS-FM lineup are sadly no longer with us.

Bruce Morrow ("Cousin" Brucie) still does a weekly Oldies show on WABC Saturday nights from 6-10pm.

Great work, John!

 

Indeed it is very sad that most of the WCBS-FM DJs, that were there during the 2nd half of the nineties (when I listened to the station) are not with us anymore. I'm so glad with the DVD that Art Vuolo produced, which permitted me to have a look in the studio. Bill Brown was one of my favourites. Here in NL I had, with the exception of a coulle of shows, completely given up on radio listening, but when I was in New Jersey, I listened to WCBS-FM whenever I could.

Sorry to hear this radio legend has passed away, it is always hard to say goodbye to familiair radio voices/friends that brought joy to so many...
